From a 375, pnp. Right out of the bottle the nose shows prune and port – like characteristics. On the palate the fruit largely faded out of this half bottle, At least this early into the drinking window.

Pop and pour from (another) 375. Soft, sweet nose, im getting a faint raisin and port characteristics indicating this may have seen some air, as I wouldn't expect this to come across as being at the end of its runway at 5 years.
While it's a solid 89-90, it seems more aged than it is. Will tap another bottle shortly for comparison

Pop and pour from 375. As in my last note, this seems a bit old in this format as a pnp but is solid and unlikely to improve.
Tawny-like approach is heavy on black tea, very old wood, clay and mushroom. Aim to kill my remaining 375's by 2024.

Bob makes a mean Merlot (no wonder his plates say “Mr Merlot”).

Nice wine, a bit thin on the finish. Familiar vanilla flavor
